Asked by Catherine
The height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. When graphed, the function gives a line With slope of —0.4. See the figure below. Suppose that the height of the candle after 11 hours is 22.6 centimeters. What was the height of the candle after 2 hours?
